0:01:08 > 0:01:09Were you nervous at the start?

0:01:09 > 0:01:11Was that going through your mind at all?

0:01:11 > 0:01:16Yeah, I certainly was nervous, but I guess that just

0:01:16 > 0:01:17means I cared about it.

0:01:17 > 0:01:19The moment we pushed out that start gate, though,

0:01:19 > 0:01:20all the nerves went.

0:01:44 > 0:01:46in the Six Nations today...

0:01:46 > 0:01:48And Ireland could win the championship this weekend.

0:01:48 > 0:01:51The men in green are also well on course to achieve the Grand Slam

0:01:51 > 0:01:53if they beat Scotland, which means winning every

0:01:53 > 0:01:58match in the tournament.

0:01:58 > 0:02:00Scotland know a victory this afternoon would make them

0:02:00 > 0:02:03the favourites to win the Six Nations Trophy.

0:02:03 > 0:02:06It's not going to be easy because the Scots haven't got

0:02:06 > 0:02:08the best away record in this tournament.

0:02:08 > 0:02:10The reigning Six Nations champions England are up

0:02:10 > 0:02:11against France in Paris tonight.

0:02:18 > 0:02:23England will be looking to get back to winning ways after being defeated

0:02:23 > 0:02:26by Scotland two weeks ago, and France, well, they are on good

0:02:26 > 0:02:28form at the moment so it makes for an intersting contest.

0:02:28 > 0:02:31Just time for one final sports story that made us chuckle this morning.

0:02:31 > 0:02:34Here's the moment one footballer made a wrong move -

0:02:34 > 0:02:36when he tackled the referee.

0:02:36 > 0:02:39Yes, he really did!

0:02:39 > 0:02:43It happened in an Arabian Gulf Cup semifinal last night.

0:02:43 > 0:02:45While player Ali Salmin's error probably did him no favours staying

0:02:45 > 0:02:48on the right side of the ref, it at least gave his Al-Wasl

0:02:48 > 0:02:49team mates a laugh.

0:02:49 > 0:02:52Whoops!

0:02:52 > 0:02:53We're back just before 12.15.
